today. At half past ten the boatswain's
whistle began 10 echo merrily over the water
and soon afterwards the wards of the Rich
mond. Galena. and Yantic were full of men
squarring and trimming up ropes and sails
and getting in condition for sailing. The
harbor was soon covered with boats of all
descriptions crowded with people watching
the movements on board the men-of-war. At
ll.45 the FIVE vessels OF the fleet sailed majes-
tically out of the harbor, the Richmond in
the van. Admiral Luce and several wives of
the officers went away by rail Soundings in
various parts of the harbor were taken last
night and early this morning by boats from
the Galena and Ysntic. Seeing the boats
thus equipped gave rise TO the rumor on
shore that they were dragging for the body
of some one supposed to have been drowned.
De Lanay Kane, De Grasse Fox and
large party from the Malvern Hotel took the
steamer Creedmoor and picnicked at some
point in the bay. The weather is clear to-
night with breeze from the northwest and
the race will surely be sailed tomorrow.

ing Criminals.

New YORK, Aug. %.
At the third session OF the inter state ex-
tradition conference today, the committee on
forms and practice presented a code of rules
to be observed in extraditing criminals.
According to this the prosecuting officer of
the district shall make application and state
that he believes he has sufficient evidence to
convict the alleged criminal, that his agent
has no personal interest in the arrest of the
fugitive and that his arrest is desired for no
private purpose whatever.
The fact that the alleged criminal was in
the State where the crime was committed,
shall be in the absence of other proof sufii
cient evidence that he is a fugitive from JUS
tice. If the grand jury found an indictment
the facts and circumstances of the crime as
known must he certified to before magis-
trste. In the case of convicted prisoner
who escapes from Jail the jailer or sheriff
may make application.
The rules were adopted.
The question Of extradition for minor Of
fences was discussed at length and resou-
ton was adopted deprecating such extradi-
ton except in special cases and under aggra-
waiting circumstances.

FROM FARMINGTON.
Held Tor the Larceny of Gu8-Searles,
the Ransely PoisOner, Interviewed
The new Farmington Jail.
FARMISGroS, Aug. %.

FARMINGT0S, Aug. %.
Alta criminal session of the municipal
court on Wednesday, Walter Welch of Far
mington, was arraigned for the larceny of a
valuable double barreled rife and rifle case
from the office of the Stoddard house. The
rifle was the property Of Howard Hoadley of
New York city, student in Yale College,
who is spending his vacation at Pennington
and boarding at the Stoddard hotel. Late
Tuesday hight the rifle was stolen from the
Office. As soon as the loss was discovered,
Wednesday morning, Landlord Withee put
the case in the hands of Deputy Sheriff
Alonzo Sylvester, who shrewdly and quickly
spprehended Welth.
Henry L. Whitcomb, Esq, appeared for
the State at the trial, and Welch was de
Tended by Enoch o. Greenleaf. Hoadley
testified that he valued the gun the more be-
cause it was a birthday present from his faith
er on his attaining his 2lst birthday.
Judge Chandler held Welch in the sum of
the grand jury at the September term of the
supreme judicial court.
Wednesday morning Deputy Sheriff Jas.
F. Toothaker of Phillips, passed through
Harrington vita Abner Searles of Rsngeley,
the self-confessed attempted poisoner, who is
to stay in Auburn Jail until the Franklin
county supreme judicial court convenes next
September
Searles is exceedingly youthful in appear
ance but muscular in build and rather heavy
| for his height. His beardless face wears an
open expression which looks anything rather
than criminal. He was dressed roughly,
the charge upon which he will be tried next
month.
A little crowd curiously watched his every
movement, but he seemed obIivious to his
surroundings In the crowd were a number
of the Pennington county bar, who good nat
uredly chstfed the deputy sheriff about his
errand to the twin Androscoggin cities.
Searles was reticent and gave the reporter
no added information in regard to the late
crimes in that Rangeley farm house. Their
story in the Pennington depot was short but
| the crowd made the most of it.
The Pennington Jail is rapidly rising from
its ruins under the skillfui workmanship of
Contractor Greenleaf of Lewiston. The
heavy walls have nearly risen to the caves,
while the neat. pretty jailer's cottage by its
side is rooted and boarded. Only few short
weeks more will Franklin county criminals
have to be conveyed to the Auburn jail.
The entire work of building is being closely
overseen by county commissioners Wellman,
Patterson and Tooihaker, and it is being
done in such manner rs to be a credit to
the county.
All the stone work of the burned jail was
sunk into the earth und upon it were placed
the foundations of the new edifice. 50 there
will never be any Jail deliveries by digging
out from under the new Jail.

representative of the democrat party but was
willing tt forsake it if by so doing he could
further the cause of temperance. Rev. j. F.

cratic or republican parties cared for tenn
perance outside of what votes could be made
by advocating it.

CROOKED TRANSACTIONS
by Democratic Officers of Indiana in the
Management of state Affairs.
CHICAGO, Aug. 2,

CHICAGO, aug, 20.
A special from Indianapolis to the Daily
News, says: More crooked transactions in
the management of the State finances by the
democratic officers were discovered, Wednes
day.
1t has been found that in 1885 they collect
ed from counties s349, GAG of revenue that
belonged to the next fiscal year, and this was
not properly credited on the books. They
also charged to increased receipts $500, 900
of temporary loans, which represents refund
ing transaction at four per cent.
In 1886 they also anticipated revenues to
the amount of s213. 900. By these methods
they succeeded in making it appear that the
State was in better condition financially az
the end of the democratic administration thar
it really was, when, as matter of fact, they
took charge of the State affairs with a bal
snce of over 5000, 900 in the treasury and
left it worse than bankrupt. 1t is believed
that more illegal transactions will be dscov-
cred.

FROM NORrIIPORT.
A Hard week for the Name Wesleyan
Association.

NoRrHPoRr, Aug. %.
This is a hard week for the Maine Wesley
an camp meeting association, for the reasons
that the present weather ard the predictions
of "Old Prob" have kept the people of East
ern Maine at home; hundreds roam where
thousands were expected. Monday it rained
and the early comers-the tenters-taied to
put in an appearance. Tuesday it rsined,
and the road leading to Belfast, usually filled
with teams on every day of camp meeting,
were deserted.
Yesterday it rained, but as it did not begin
until noon. some ten or twelve hundred ex-
cursionists put in an appearance. These
stood and sat about the cottages, in the
speakers stand, in tents, and, in fact, in
every place which sheltered them from the
rain, and looked at each other with most
disconsolate air.
This protracted rain is great dissppoint
ment to the Northport Methodsts, who
hoped to lessen their debt this year. Today
the weather promises better things.
